McDonald's served potentially hazardous food. (IL) (self.legaladvice)

bad_driverman が 投稿

Every time I have gone to the Mcdonalds drive thru near my house, they have messed up my order. Every. Single. Time. It isn't something small like forgetting, the ketchup packets but something big like including onions when I say no onions. This could be extremely problematic if I were allergic to onions. It is endangering the customers. I tried calling the police, but they said it wasn't a criminal matter. Is there legal recourse to sue?

Edit: forgot to mention that because they always botch my order, I have to walk inside to complain. I have a chronic injury that makes this difficult. Can I sue for this?

Yes. But if McDonald's can prove that this location is ADA compliant, you will lose.

You have suffered no loss, despite not liking onions. If you're pissed off enough, you can sue for the amount of the bungled meal, but that's pretty much the value of your "loss" (quotes because you still received food).

Patronize another restaurant, McDonald's or otherwise, if this one is so bad. They're all over the state.

The issue is that they are closest to my house and with my chronic injury I don't have the luxury to go to any other Mcdonalds. What about the onions? This happens EVERY SINGLE DAY. If I was allergic, I'd be dead by now. Surely something can be done to make sure they aren't serving hazardous materials.

This happens EVERY SINGLE DAY.

You shouldn't be eating McDonalds food EVERY SINGLE DAY.

Well I don't eat weekends there as I have off work and have time to drive to Subway and step out of the car. But weekdays I have to work and this is the best option. Besides I usually keep the order small like a double cheeseburger or two and only sometimes fries. I always drink water.

Onions aren't hazardous materials.

You don't have to eat at McDonald's.

[–]bad_driverman[S] 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (1子コメント)

No but as I stated, they're the closest restaurant. And with my disability it makes it difficult to step out of my car. So I need somewhere with a drive thru.

You haven't been harmed by the onions. You may not like them, but they're not harming you. If they were, then you'd have gone to the hospital. Barring that, you've got nothing.

If you have to "go inside" to correct the order, the logical implication is that you're driving there. You do have the luxury of driving somewhere else. If your "chronic injury" allows you to drive there, it allows you to drive elsewhere too. Otherwise you wouldn't be allowed to drive anywhere.

My injury doesn't really allow me to walk into a restaurant without sever anguish, which is why I use the drive thru. I live in a Podunk town with only one drive thru. MCDONALDS!

McDonald's every day? Yikes. They're doing you a service because you should not be eating that shit every day.

At any rate, if you actually were allergic, and you still proceeded to eat something containing what you were allergic to, then that is 100% on you as well. Onions aren't exactly discreet by any stretch of the imagination.

Dear christ what is this world coming to?

At any rate, why do you go to the drive-thru. You know what happens at the drive-thru, right?

[–]bad_driverman[S] 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (1子コメント)

I have a disability. It is very difficult for me to go to the walk up section.

No offense, but I don't give a hoot. Find another fast food joint if this one fucks up your order every day. If you don't want to do that, and you can't physically shop for groceries, get one of those grocery delivery things once a week, all the ingredients for burgers and fries, and have at it.

You know, when it comes to legal things there are very rarely any absolute answers, but I'm 100% confident this is a case where you have absolutely zero legal recourse for them serving you an incorrect order.

Next time you get your order, take some of Leo Getz' advice...check the bag, if its incorrect send it back through the window before you drive away. It's shockingly simple to do. Try it next time. I have faith in you. =)

I am ashamed that I did not include this in my first reply. That should have been my knee-jerk reaction and I failed.

Thank you for making sure that this clip was connected to this thread.

I'm not sure I follow.

[–]key2616 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

It's probably all the onions.

[–]anisaerah 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (6子コメント)

This reminds me of the time I saw a woman throw a fit over being served a burger on a bun because she's "gluten free", and then proceeded to order fries.

If you are allergic to common food items, it's probably best to eat only in places where you can guarantee there is no cross contamination. A fast food restaurant (most restaurants, really) is not that kind of place.

Would you say that to someone allergic to peanuts? This isn't some fad diet. I really don't like onions. They make my breath stink. I work nights so I eat at McDonalds before work and I need to keep my appearances for my job. Part of this is not having smelly breath. It really is getting out of hand.

[–]anisaerah 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (3子コメント)

Would you say that to someone allergic to peanuts?

Yes. It's not a restaurant's responsibility to account for people having allergies to common food items.

They make my breath stink.

They make everyone's breath stink. If you don't like onions, don't eat at restaurants that tend to put them on things that aren't ordered with them.

Lol this can't be real.

Is there some tort law that I use to sue this particular McDonalds. I realize it would be foolish to take on the whole chain as they have deep pockets, bit can I sue this particular franchise?

[–]Ramady 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Yes. You can file a suit first thing Monday. You will lose rather quickly, but the judge will be amused. So that's good, I guess.

[–]key2616 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Would you say that to someone allergic to peanuts?

That is the actual advice given to people with severe food allergies. Don't eat at places where you can't confirm that the food isn't free of the allergen.

You are not allergic to peanuts. You are not allergic to onions. Buy some mints or gum for use after eating at McDonald's or find a better place.

Dude, stopping eating at the restaurant if it's customer service is not up to your standards!

[–]bad_driverman[S] 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

As I stated, it's the only one close enough to me. With my disability, I am unable to go to another one without it being a huge hassle.

[–]Ramady 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Either grow the fuck up our find a new McDonalds. I recommend both.
